It’s hard to know what to be more dazzled by in the music of composer Derek Bermel - the range of stylistic voices he cultivates or the profusion of ingenuity, beauty and wit he brings to everything he touches.

Derek Bermel performs a recital of American music with members of the Seattle Symphony at the new Octave 9: Raisbeck Music Center, featuring world premieres by Bermel and Kaley Lane Eaton, along with works by Steve Reich, Edgard Varèse, Nina C. Young, Mary Kouyoumdjian, and Mason Bates.
